In warning against the sale of cigar
cites to boys, the statement is advanced
that if they begin in this way they early
learn to smoke cigars and pipes. This
may be a fact in individual eases, but
the majority of boys who learn to
smoke cigarettes viii never smoke any
thing else. 1t would be far better for
them if they began with the pipe; there

cigars More Than Fifty Years old.

About the year 1882 Mrs. Joshua
Blake. wife of Joshua Blake of an old
mercantile house on Central Wharf,
sent her son. Joshua Blake Jr., then an
officer in the United States navy, sta
toned at Jamaica, box of Havana
cigars. His vessel left Jamaica be-
fore the arrival of the package, and it
was retained in the custom-house there
thirty-live years. Subsequently it was
sent to the New York Custom-House,
where it remained twenty years. 1t
was then brought to light, and recently
came into possession of its rightful
owner. Mr.. Joshua Blake of this city,

SUMMER FLOWING.

If any time can be spared from other
work, the fields which are to be sown
to wheat or to grass seed this fall should
be plowed as soon as may be. Plowed
now and worked over with the cultiva-
tor or with the disk harrow few times
before the time for seeding viii make a
better seed bed that if plowed before
sowing time, and the weed seed will
have opportunity to terminate and be
killed, so that weeds will be much less
plenty. Often i'm a field plowed just be-
fore seeding, the weeds get such good
start of the good seed as to place the
latter at a disadvantage all the season.
A worthless weed often takes the man
ure and the moisture that should have
supported the crop, and then so shades
the other as to give it but a small chance
for life. 1t is easy to kill a few million
weeds in a day with the harrow or
horseshoe, if they are only encouraged
to sprout, and then kill while small.
Ii is not too late to sow Hungarian
grass, millet or fodder-corn this month,
if there is land that can be used for such
crops. The first often does better sown
July than in June. The corn will not
get as large growth or be as valuable
for feeding as if it were sown earlier.
but as a green feed if pastures dry up
or grow poor in September it may be
very good to have on haul, and if not
needed then it may be cut for winter
use, and will prove "better than snow
balls. " although requiring some grain
to be fed with it.

taken TO the barn for thrashing without
the seed rafting out and wasting. If
cut too green the seed often shrinks

due to improper or insufficient manur-

are well filled out and hang down and

should not be in the grain. Some Of
them are not good feed for either man

GERMANY AND THE POTATO BUG.
Farmers need object lessons. The
German Government caught the idea
when they feared an invasion of the
fatherland with the decem lineata, our
own potato BEETLE. That every man,
woman or child who worked in the field
might recognize the new foe at first
sight, and set the heel upon him, the
government had faithful, exact, life-like
pictures of the potato BEETLE scattered

were made of exact colors and size of the
beetle. Theyshow him up in all stages
of development, from egg to Larvae,
from Larvae to full-grown beetles, and
placed them on the potato plant and
on the ground in natural positions.
Then follow written descriptions of
habits, time of appearance, and how to
destroy them. Every German was
taught to destroy the curse at sight.
In every school-room and every pub
lie house or building and in every farm
house these cuts and instructions could
be seen. Every child in Germany
doubtless knows enough Of this beetle
now to know what is best to do with
him. The potato beetle was welcomed
with bloody hands to a hospitable grave
on German soil. Just so should we
welcome every foreign weed or insect
or sparrow that appears here. Had
Americans been as well and promptly
of the nature and appearance
of the Hessian fly, and what to do with
it, can it be supposed that the curse
would have become so universal? Our

Ex-senator Tabor's divorced wife.

A tall. tine-looking, well-dressed
woman was sitting near the fare box
in Broadway street-car as entered
it. She had high forehead, dark
brown hair, black eyes and remark
ably intelligent features. A friend sat
beside her and to him she talked pleas
antly. Her tones were low and her
English was of the purest. She was
apparently about forty years Of age.
and my attention was first attracted
to her by the fact that she had over
paid her fare, putting in q dime for
nickel. 1 made this even nv giving
her my fare instead of putting it in
the box. As she left the car I learned
she was a woman with history, and
that she was none other then cx-
Senator Tabor's first wife the woman
who made his big strike for him by
taking boarders and keeping the store
which supplied the feed for the pros
pectors who struck the Little Pitts
Durg mine. This was the woman from
whom Tabor got his divorce, and it
was this woman he left to marry the
present Mrs. Tabor, whom he first
welded at St Louis; afterwards an
other marriage ceremony was solann-
lied at Washington. She does not
look like q disappointed woman, and
she IS BY no means one of the frail
reeds of the fair sex. / don't think
she would have disgraced her husbands
at Washington, and find that here at
Denver her standing is very good.
She is In good circumstances, tho
property which Tabor gave herhaving
largely increased In value. She Is
worth at least $500, 700 to-day, and
che lately sold sixteen lots out Of q
piece OF forty which Tabor gave her
for 500, 900. She has left twenty-four
